“Plain Sailing” by Atmos Bloom

atmos bloom’s forthcoming album Everythingness was inspired by a series of balancing acts, the journey through youth and young adulthood, chasing adventure while longing for home and falling in love with the city where they found this home, yet still needing to escape it in order to think and create. The record maps the duo’s journey through these themes whilst staying true to what initially brought the two together. The LP drops on July 24th via Spirit Goth. Ahead of the album’s arrival Tilda and Curtis share the new single “Plain Sailing.”

From atmos bloom: “Plain Sailing explores growing up, time passing and learning to relax into it and embrace it whilst learning about yourself. It’s about trying to hold onto the best moments of life but the struggle of balancing this with daily realities.

The most positive and joyous parts of the album are met with the darkest and most lost. Even within individual songs we find ourselves plunged into a landscape that’s unrecognizable from the one where we started, only to be dropped back in and end at the beginning. Neither the ups nor the downs linger for too long and the overall message of the record is left up to the listener”.

Without the restraints of trying to make a particular record, the duo were inspired by numerous influences, including DIIV, Ulrika Spacek, Deerhunter, and Broadcast. The album’s artwork and themes reflect the environments in which the album was crafted – a patchwork, a collage, intersecting aspects of life and the world, and the journey to find our place within it.
